The story comes from Milton
Mass, that widow there who owred
beautiful house leased it to a Bos-
ton woman, to be used as simmer
boarding house. Guests arrived and
the season opened prosperously, but
soon 1t was whispered that the nouse
was haunted The servants became
demoralized, the guests became I'M
easy, and the landIady herself saw
white and misty form flirting through
the halls. She was about to give up
the lease when the owner arrived
and said that she wanted tc see the
ghost, too. She watched for il. and
sure enough it appeared; but the
watcher, instead of fleeing in terror,
tackled the sheeted form and disclos-
ed neighbor who had vainly tried
to buy the property, and took this
way to bring the house into disrepute
and also into the market.

Effect of a Solar Eclipse Upon Animals.

although the scientific results Of the
observation of the solar eclipse in this
neighborhood are insignificant, says the
Berlin correspondent of the London
Times, "some interesting reports are
given of the effects upon the lower ami
mails of the untimely observation of the
sun. Foresters state that the birds,
which had already begun to sing before
the eclipse took place, became of sud
den quite silent, and showed signs of
disquiet when darkness set in. Herds
of deer ran about in alarm, rs did the
small four-footed game. In Berlin a
scientific man arranged for observations
to be made by bird-dealers of the con-
duct of their feathered stock, and the
results are found to deviate considerably.
In some cases the birds showed sudden
sleepiness, even though they had sung
before the eclipse took place. In other
cases great uneasiness and fright were
observed. It is noticeable that parrots
showed far more susceptibility than ca.
naries, becoming totally silent during the
eclipse, and only returning very slowly
to their usual state"

Turtle Catching,

Not one person IN a hundred could
answer correctly the question, where do
the turtles come from that supply the
restaurants and free-launch saloons with
their savory turtle soupl The majority,
having seen occasionally a huge salt
water turtle disporting in a barrel of
water in conspicuous place in front of
the saloon or restaurant, would say that
the prelude to their dinner or companion
to their beer had been nurtured in the
salt lakes or burrowed in the sandy beach
of old ocean, and would never think of
associating their bowl of delicious soup
with the muddy bottoms of the small
streams that flow through Allegheny and
Washington counties; but bad they been
with the correspondent this morning rs
he made his way at sunrise along the
banks of Raccoon creek the lesser to
Turtle Camp 1, they would have seen an
industry of which they knew nothing.
Camps Nos. 1, 2 and are placed along
Little Raccoon, about two miles above
here, and are composed of parties from
the South Side, tittsburg, who combine
the pleasure of a couple of months out
ing during the hot season wish the profits
derived from the sale of their turtles in
the Pittsburg market. This industry
was first started here ten years ago by a
party of Pittsburg glassblowers, who, be-
ing thrown out of employment by a
strike, came out here to camp, and find
ing turtles so plenty and of such a fine
variety shipped some to their friends at
home. Each year has brought a large
camp, till now the three camps men
toned number over sixty hunters. They
employ two methods of catching the rep.
tiles. The most successful is by hooks
and lines. A large hook fastened by a
strong line to a stout peg driven in the
bank is baited with some fresh meat, a
piece of grounding or muskrat, killed
for that purpose, thrown in the water
and left over night Early in the morn
ing the lines are visited, hooks rebaited,
and captured turtles brought into camp,
where they are packed alive in barrels,
ready for shipment. The other method
is to creep along the bank, rife in hand,
and surprise the turtles lying out on
rocks and logs summing themselves. -

Useful Hints.

Use a heated knife TO cut hot bread
and the latter will not be soggy.
For raspberry stains mixture of
weak ammonia and water is the best.
When the burners of kerosene lamps
become clogged, put them in a basin OF
hot water containing washing soda, and
let them boil for few minutes. This
will make them perfectly clean and
almost as bright as new.
Never use brush on silk; it Injuries
the goods. Instead wipe carefully with
the face of soft piece of velvet. Shake
the velvet occasionally and wipe between
every plat if you would preserve your
garment and have it retain its new look.
Wheel grease, and all other grease, on
cotton goods may be taken out with
cold, soft water and any good soap; soft
soap is the best. In cases of long stand
ing wet the spot with kerosene oil and
let it soak for some hours, then wash as
before directed.
An old New England housekeeper
says: To keep moths out of closets,
clothes and carpets, take green tansy.
1t is better before it goes to seed. Put
it around the edges of carpets, and hang
it up in closets where woolen cloths are
hung, and no moth will ever come where

The Either.

The either, that pretty little fiat harp
which is now taught in our cities, and
which so many young ladies are learning,
originated in the Alpine countries, and
was, toward the middle Of our century,
used by travelling Tyrolese singers as an
accompaniment to their songs and yodels.
Even to-day, when one sees the grace
full young girl seated at the table, prac-
ticing her either, and hears those wild
chords, an Alpine scene rises before
the eyes and transfers the modern Ws-
thetic interior, in charming dreamlike
transformation, to rushing streams, pine
forests, blue peaks and snow mountains,
that scenery of the Tyrol and Switzer-
land which is of all things most lovely,

SOME DAY.

Some day when least you dream Of such
woe,
The air will tremble to the sounds Of weep
ing;
And pale and still with white and folded
hands,
The one you love will silently be sleeping.
And burning tears will rain from your sad
eyes,
Because you failed to value while possess
ing;
Then wait not for the bitter day TO come,
But cherish while you may the tender
blessing
Some day the air will echo to sweet music
OF drum and bugle call and martial tread,
And with the flag draped o'er his pulseless
bosom,
The gallant soldier will be cold and dead;
Aud all the tributes heaped upon his bosom
Win fail to thrill his heart with joy or
pride.
But had he heard in life one-half your praises.
Or felt your fond caress he had not died.
Oh, keep not back the words that might be-
spoken;
w nlle neaItS are hunger NIB iOA U"O 'Ae090N
speech
Value your treasure, fold it to your bosom
Before it slips forever from your reach.
The saddest words that sound in all life's
measure
Are these wrung from the heart by cruel
fate,
The undertone to every note of pleasure
81 found my Jewels value, all too late"

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Care of Kerosene Lamps.

A thorough study of the subject Of pc.
troleum lamps has been lately made by
Sir Frederick Abel. He suggests that
the reservoir of kerosene lamp should
always be of metal, the more strongly
to resist any explosive tendency of the oil
orvapor within, and that there should be
no other opening than that for the wick,
unless so small one that fame could
hardly enter it, He further says the wick
should be soft and dry when put in, and
should completely fill its space, but with
out forcing; that it should be scarcely
longer than to touch the bottom of the
reservoir, and there the oil should never
be suffered to be less than two thirds of
the depth, while the lamp should always
be filled partly before lighting. The
wick should never be turned down sud-
denly, and the lamp should not be sud-
denly cooled or allowed to meet a
draught; and when the flame is extin-
guished it should first be lowered as far
as possible and then sharp strong puff
should be blown across, but not down the
chimney. y.-Hdrper's Bdzar.

Mntchns for the blind

''This is one of the cutest things in
the watch line that has yet appeared"
said Jeweler Charles S. Crossman, hold
ing up one of the new Swiss watches de.
signed for the use of the blind. The
old raised figure watches were clumsy
and the blind people were constantly
bending OF breaking the watch hands 10y
touching them. In this watch Il small peg
is set in the centre of each figure. When
the hour hand is approaching a certain
hour the peg for that hour drops when
the quarter before it is passed. The per
son feels the peg is down, and then counts
back to twelve. He can thus tell the
time within few minutes and by prac-
tice he can become so expert as 10 tell the
time almost exactly. They have been in
use about six months, and there is a steady

Between French Guiana and Brazil is
a region of 400, 900 square miles, contain
ing 60, 900 inhabitants, whose possession
has been contested for two hundred years.
France claims it on one hand, Brazil on
the other, and all because of an incom-
prehensible clause in the treaty of
Utrecht. Neither France nor Brazil has
ever dreamed of taking possession of this
tehitory, either by force or by arbitra-
tion of friendly nation. The principal
centre of population in this country is
Counani, which has about $50 inhabi-

A speaker before the Association for
the Advancement of Science gave a criti-
cism upon American living He said:
"To the rule that those who most need
to economize buy the cheapest food, the
dietary practices of the people of the
United States evince marked oxcep-
tions, in that'many, even among those
who desire to economize, use necdlessly
expensive kinds of food. They too often
endcavor to make their diet attractive by
paying high prices in the market rather
than by skillful cooking and tasteful
serving at home"
